Obama doesn't need the extra votes, and he is not a USO entertainer. Why were there no reports or expectations of Cheney and McCain appearing to audiences of large US troop assemblies during their March visit?
He can greet the troops as they return, on his orders as CIC.

Ditto.
Any visit he makes there will be a strain on the troops and the his ability to gain any thing from a hand held, heavily guarded, arranged tour would be seriously limited and likely inaccurate.
